Additional Information

This land is currently serving as a homestead, easily meeting all the produce and fruit needs for a large family. It also has great potential to be developed for market gardening or a CSA with its location just half an hour outside Portland. Town and State permits for business operation are in-hand, ready for business. The barn loft has potential to be developed as an additional living quarters under the Town's "Auxiliary Dwelling Unit" allowance, defined as 500 square feet of living space (excluding bathrooms and closets). The land has supported several horses, a small flock of sheep, and a herd of 5 milking goats. 

Solar production averages 26 MWh/year, more than enough to power the home (electric-based appliances, heat pumps, car charging) as well as heating two greenhouses with 5KW electric heaters all winter. 

Great equestrian trail access as well as cross country skiing, biking, snowmobiling right from the property.
